Meze LIRIC 2: Next-gen premium headphones launched

Romanian brand Meze Audio , the company behind such stylish headphones as the Meze 99 Classics and the luxurious Empyrean II , has introduced the second generation of Meze Liric headphones . The successor to the original Liric closed-back headphones, the second generation has been “designed with the utmost care to provide true music lovers with a balanced, warm and accurate sound”.

 

 

The 2nd generation Liric headphones (let’s call them Liric 2 for simplicity) use planar-magnetic technology with an isodynamic hybrid array, which, combined with a closed design, “helps preserve the original clarity and emotion of music through improved sound and minimized external noise.”

 

 

The Liric 2 also added a new “Wavelength Resonator Mask”, which is essentially a metal plate that covers individual openings in the driver frame to provide a smoother and more immersive listening experience.

 

 

Partly in response to customer feedback on the original Liric model, the new headphones ditched the leather-trimmed ear cups of the first generation in favor of cups clad in striated ebony. These new bowls combine the texture of wood with a luxurious feel for greater durability and a luxurious aesthetic.

 

 

Traditionally, the brand’s headphones are relatively easy to disassemble and replace the housing elements to extend the life of this precious product. In addition, the new headphones come with two hand-braided copper cables: 4.4 mm for portable players and headphone amplifiers, and a 3 m cable for “home listening”.
